Thomas Tuchel has been told who should be his England penalty takers at the World Cup after Arsenal’s spot-kick heartache.The Gunners were beaten on penalties by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on Saturday.Tuchel has been told who to select for penalty duty if England face a shootout this summerGettyGabriel blazed the crucial effort over the bar after England’s Eberechi Eze had earlier fired wide.The Three Lions could face penalties themselves at this summer’s tournament in North America.Despite winning three of their last four shootouts, England have a complicated history from 12 yards.Across ten major tournament penalty shootouts, they have won just three.Those include a spot-kick victory over Switzerland in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024, though.England’s penalty takerstalkSPORT’s Rory Jennings, Flex and Olly Clink have now revealed which players they believe should have the responsibility this summer to continue their winning run.Speaking on the latest episode of Inside England, Jennings explained: “First up has to be Harry Kane, I know what will be happening, people will be talking about what happened in Doha, his second penalty against the French.“But generally speaking, Harry Kane is perfection, he is the man for the big occasion, he is capable of slotting it away for England, so I think he takes the first.”Harry Kane has missed just three competitive penalties since his miss against France at the 2022 World Cup.Meanwhile, his overall record stands at 107 scored and just 14 missed across his career.Jennings, Flex and Clink all selected England captain Kane as a must for a penalty shootoutGettyJennings added: “He’s a man for the big occasion, but you can contest that, pressure moments, I stand by it, but again you can contest it.“What he has proved is that he can shrink on the big occasion and miss a decisive penalty, so some people would say, ‘Maybe not Kane,’ I disagree though.”As for the order of his takers, he revealed: “And my approach to this is very basic, I go for the big players and I have a huge amount of prejudice against defenders.“And I know that people are going to go, ‘Well Harry Maguire was a great England penalty taker,’ Eric Dier, I was in Munich [for 2012 Champions League final] and I saw David Luiz put away the most perfect penalty, I get it.“I can’t help it though, I want the big players taking the penalties first, I don’t think you save players, get the big players you can rely on taking first and go for the attackers.“So I would go Harry Kane, I would then go Jude Bellingham – big game player.Jude Bellingham scored from 12 yards for England in their win over Switzerland at Euro 2024Getty“Declan Rice I trust, I think he’s brilliant, Ivan Toney, the only reason I believe he’s there is for this occasion.“And then I think it’s slightly more tricky, I’m torn between Anthony Gordon and Marcus Rashford.“But do you know what I would do if I was the manager? I think there is a little bit of counsel that is needed here.“Because it’s all very well having a conversation before a penalty shootout, it’s all very well us doing it now, in theory, but what we know is, it’s about the occasion.“Are you ready for it? And I think the manager would have a responsibility to talk to Gordon, and go, ‘Are you up for this?’“Like Nicolas Anelka in Moscow [2008 Champions League final] got sent out, he obviously didn’t want to take a penalty.World Cup WhatsAppDon't miss an update from talkSPORT in our dedicated World Cup WhatsApp channel.Search for ‘talkSPORT World Cup in your ‘Updates’ tab on WhatsApp and we’ll drop the proper, unfiltered football chat straight to your lock screen—no fluff, just pure talkSPORT energy.It’s where the real debate happens from proper fan reactions and big talking points and yes, Jason Cundy and Jamie O’Hara pointing and laughing at every nightmare in America, Mexico and Canada – even their own.“I think you have to have a chat with Gordon, with Rashford and see who wants it.”Jennings notably snubbed Bukayo Saka, who had been withdrawn by Mikel Arteta before the shootout against PSG.However, the Arsenal forward did score in England’s shootout win over Switzerland two years ago.Jude Bellingham and Ivan Toney are the only other members of this summer’s squad who took a penalty during that shootout.Flex echoed Jennings’ argument for Kane kicking off the takers as England’s all-time top scorer.He admitted: “Similar in a lot of ways [to Rory], Kane, straight out the boat, it’s got to be, he’s England’s all-time leading scorer, he is the man.”England's World Cup penalty record1990: Lost 4-3 to Germany in semi-finals1998: Lost 4-3 to Argentina in round of 162006: Lost 3-1 to Portugal in quarter-finals2018: Beat Colombia 4-3 in round of 16Revealing his five takers, Flex continued: “I want the captain, I want the talisman, I want him there immediately, so Kane for me.“I’m going Ivan Toney second, because it’s a banker, get us on a good solid run, put the pressure on the other team, if we hit the first three in a row, we’ve got every chance of maybe not needing to score all your penalties to win.“Jude, third, ‘I am him, I play for Real Madrid, I’ve got the big moments, when we were losing to Slovakia [Euro 2024], it’s going to be curtains, the whole nation is going to get embarrassed, I’m scoring an overhead kick, who else but me?’“I just believe he’s the right guy for that, then I’m going, quite interestingly to you [Jennings], I know you’ve got the bias against the defenders, I’m going Reece James. And my fifth one is Rice.”Reece James has only taken one penalty in senior football, scoring for Wigan Athletic against Norwich City in 2019.However, Flex has explained his selection, adding: “I just think he’s a good striker of the ball, I could back him in the calm moments.“I don’t think he gets too high or twoo low, he keeps calm, he keeps measured, and he’s a high-level technician.”Both Flex and Clink want to see Toney in England’s list of five penalty takers this summerGettyAfter some discussion, he changed his mind, though, choosing Saka instead of James.Flex concluded: “Do you know what? The Saka one is the one actually, Saka for James, I’m going to do that.“But I’ll be honest though, I’m not mad at Reece James taking a penalty at all, I’m really not.“Saka was in my list, I tried to go a bit rogue, I took him out because of Jude, Ivan Toney, Rice – but Saka should be there.”As for Clink, he once again included Kane and Bellingham amongst his five takers.Meanwhile, Saka, Toney and Anthony Gordon also make the cut, as he explained: “I’ve got Kane taking the first one, Saka second, which is interesting because I don’t think either of you said Saka [in original five], he’s a great penalty taker.“Toney third, because I think third is so important, third is the pivotal penalty for me.”Saka has scored 16 of his 19 penalties – excluding penaltiesGettyCompleting his list, Clink added: “I’d have Anthony Gordon [in fourth], I get what you’re saying about whether he would be up for taking a penalty, as a Newcastle fan, he had one miss against Everton, of all clubs, against his old club.“But since then, he hasn’t missed, and I would back him massively, he’s got that temperament, he’s got the confidence as well to go up and take that penalty.“And I’d have Bellingham in number five, it’s him, there’s no world in which he misses that fifth penalty.”England have taken part in four World Cup penalty shootouts since their first in 1990.However, they have won just one of those, beating Colombia in the round of 16 at the 2018 finals.That shootout victory remains their most recent spot-kick ordeal at the World Cup.
